Episode 203 - Propaganda

<< Mating Calls
It's a Jerk solo show and the music reflects his particular sense of astoundment at the state of the world around us. We'll be covering the spectrum from hope to horror with a revolutionary set of songs brought to you by a diverse cohort of artists. There's a particular focus on musicians of Middle Eastern and North African descent, combined with his usual genre-bending melange of punk, jazz and radical hip-hop.
The music will be doing most of the talking this week because The Jerk is much too tired for a spirited takedown of the system, but we'll be covering state censorship, targeted racial violence and the difficulty of counting the dead when they're buried under rubble that's buried under rubble.
